Lee for Filatov?

HELL NO.

why I think this would be bad:

-Jackets need offense. HELLO, we only have a couple players with huge offensive upsides
(Nash, Huselius)
-we have enough defense. even with Klesla out, we've got plenty of goons in Syracuse who can step up and fill in.
-have i mentioned we need offense? like a lot? we cannot rely on Torres, Chimera, Boll, Dorsett, and the likes to score the points! the truth is, we've got one line that produces most of our points, with the rest of the checkers jumping in once and a while with a goal or two.

bottom line:

I love Brian Lee, that's no surprise to you, but I don't think he would be a good fit for Columbus at this point, and Ottawa has made it clear that they don't want him. the only way I would consent this trade is if Filatov were NOT part of the deal. he will be a huge asset for us one day, as soon as Hitchcock removes that stick out of his ass.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS TRADE IDEA.

AJO. xx
